With Quick Termination (QT), Weidmüller is revolutionising connection systems and bringing them to a whole new level. Stranded wires of 0.5 to 2.5 mm2 (AWG 20 to 16) without crimped-on wire-end ferrules can be easily inserted into the open connection point. “Click” – that’s all it takes to create a secure connection.
Around the world, machine automation in factories is picking up steam to help lower production costs and improve manufacturing speed and quality. In fact, the rate at which manufacturers are adopting Industrial Ethernet to connect, control and monitor their factories is growing 20% annually. But machine automation is still highly dependent on cables, meaning an entire production line can shut down when a cable fails.
